                        Minor wound infections may just require local drainage (eg, removal of surgical 
                        suture) and do not require microbiological testing.</p>
                    <p>
                        Wound swab or pus - microscopy and culture for moderate or severe infection, 
                        especially when there is spreading cellulitis or symptoms and signs of systemic 
                        infection.</p>
                    <p>
                        Aspiration of pus is preferable to a swab of pus or wound.</p>
                    <p>
                        If aspiration or swab of pus, or wound swab, is not possible, injection of 
                        0.5-1.0 mL of saline followed by aspiration may provide a suitable specimen (eg, 
                        from areas of cellulitis).</p>
